FRED J'. SASS, OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CULTEl-t & FROC'IOR STOVE (30., OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

STOVE.

Application filed April 24,

To ZZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRED J. SAss, a citizen of the United States, a resident of Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves, and the principal object is the provision of a stove having an elevated oven which may be heated from the range part of the stove and also from a separate burner, which is located immediately below the oven.

Further objects of this invention include improvements in details of construction and arrangement, such as an "improved support for the front top plate, an improved burner for the elevated oven, and means for cooling the fire-pot and other parts of the range, whereby an effective and, efficient stove is provided.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the combination, construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and then sought to be defined in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, and which show merely for the purpose of illustrative disclosure, a preferred embodiment of my invention, it being understood that various changes may be made in practice within the scope of the claims without digressing from my inventive idea.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 represents a vertical section through a stove constructed to embody my invention;

Fig. 2 is a detail view showing the vertical flue in elevation, and showing a section through the lower part of the oven to show the deflector in elevation;

Fig. 3 is a detail view showing in rear elevation the burner element, which is positioned between the oven and the vertical flue;

Fig. 4 is a, vertical section through the burner element and upper part of the vertical flue;

Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the burner element, and

Fig. 6 is a horizontal section through the same.

Specification of Letters Patent. P t ted Apr. 27, 1920.

1918. Serial No. 230,430.

Referring now to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the body of the stove which is supported on the legs or other suitable supports 2, and is formed of suitable sheet metal, as shown. Mounted therein is the ash-pit 3, the fire-box 4 having the grate 5 leading to the combustion chamber 6, which communicates with the horizontal iue 7 The stove is provided with the top plate 8. This forms the stove proper, and it is to be noted that the bottom of the body of the stove has a plurality of openings 9, to admit the air which will circulate around the ash-pit, fire-pot and combustion chamber, and then passes out through the openings 10 provided in the sides and front of the body near the top thereof, and through the openings 11 provided in the rear plate of the body. This is for the purpose of cooling the various parts referred to so as to render them less liable to damage in use from excessive heat and the like.

I provide a convenient means for holding the movable front part 12 of the top plate in open position, this part of the top plate being pivoted as at 13. It is provided with the ear 14 on which is pivoted the locking pawl member 15 which has the laterally extending locking lug 16 which is adapted to fit in any of the various shoulders 17 of the locking member 18. It is to be noted that I have provided three of the shoulders 17 so that this movable part 12 of the top plate may be adjusted in three positions and of course that number may be varied. When this movable part 1.2 is raised beyond the limit of the last shoulder 17, the locking pawl member swings over the back of the locking element 18 and slides down to its lowermost position, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

On the rear of the stove is supported the oven 19 which is double walled as shown, to provide the oven proper 20 which is surrounded by the flues 21. This oven is supported from the stove by means of suitable brackets 22. The flues 19 thereof are connected by means of the vertical flue 23 to the horizontal flue 27 of the stove, this flue 23 having the suitable damper 24C.

Positioned between the upper edge of the flue 23 and the oven 19, is a gas burner element 25. This element is shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6 and is of substantially oval shape, having the flat annular flange 26, which is adapted to be secured in place beneath the opening 27 into the oven 19. This burner element is provided with the pair of oppositely extending fines or conduits 28 which communicate with the burner nozzles 29 which extend into the open space within the annular oval element and are arr; nged out of alinement with each other so that the flames from the two nozzles will be separated and will heat the entire column of air passing up through the flue 23 into the fines 21 of the oven. The other part of this burner element is provided with suitable openings 30 which are controlled by a proper damper member 31 so as to regulate the admission or air thereto. conduits 28 have a suitable connection 32 to a source of supply.

Secured to the inner bottom member of the oven. is the deflector or baflle element 33 which is of conical shape and inverted and positioned over the opening 27 into the lower flue 19 so that the hot column of air and products of combustion are caused to pass around the inner oven 20 in all directions.

It is therefore seen that I have provided a very simple and efficient stove construe tion, which has an elevated oven, which may be heated from the usual range part of the stove and which also may be heated separately by means of gas or similar fuel. from the additional burner element disclosed. I have also provided a simple and convenient The fines or means of holding the movable front portion of the top plate in various adjusted positions, as desired.

. What I claim is 1. In a gas burner, a substantially ringlike hollow gas burner having a gas supply at one side and air inlet openings on its opposite side, a damper on the outer face of the burner for controlling said air inlet openings and a single pair of substantially parallel nozzles projecting interiorly of the burner from the respective opposite sides of the burner, said nozzles being offset and discharging at substantially the center of the ring-like burner, and the entire remainder of the burner interior being free of projections or the like so as to allow heat from the burners to freely create swirling eddies at the center of the burner interior.

2. In a gas burner, a substantially ringlike hollow gas burner and a single'pair of substantially parallel nozzles projecting interiorly of the burner from the respective opposite sides of the burner, said nozzles being offset and discharging at substantially the center of the ring-like burner and-the entire remainder of the burner interior being free of projections or the like so as to allow heat from the burners to freely create swirling eddies at the center of the burner interior.

In witness whereof I have hereunto affixed my hand this 17 day of April, 1918.

FRED J. SASS.
